Pulse oximetry

Journal of Clinical Monitoring, 1989
The pulse oximeter, a widely used noninvasive monitor of arterial oxygen saturation, has numerous applications in anesthesiology and critical care. Although pulse oximetry is considered sufficiently accurate for many clinical purposes, there are significant limitations on the accuracy and availability of pulse oximetry data.

Everything About Pulse Oximetry—Part 1: History, Principles, Advantages, Limitations, Inaccuracies, Cost Analysis, the Level of Knowledge About Pulse Oximeter Among Clinicians, and Pulse Oximetry Versus Tissue Oximetry

Journal of Intensive Care Medicine, 2023
Purpose: Pulse oximetry is a noninvasive medical technique that measures the amount of oxygen in a person’s blood by shining light through their skin. It is widely used in medical care and is considered as important as the 4 traditional vital signs.

Racial Disparity in Oxygen Saturation Measurements by Pulse Oximetry: Evidence and Implications.

Annals of the American Thoracic Society, 2022
The pulse oximeter is a ubiquitous clinical tool used to estimate blood oxygen levels. However, decreased accuracy of pulse oximetry in patients with dark skin tones has been demonstrated since as early as 1985.

Pulse oximetry

Pediatric Emergency Care, 1987
The pulse oximeter provides a noninvasive, continuous, and generally valid measure of SaO2. Armed with a basic understanding of its operating principles and limitations, and the proper interpretation of SaO2, the emergency physician will find the pulse oximeter to be a useful instrument for the detection of hypoxia in infants and children.

Low Perfusion and Missed Diagnosis of Hypoxemia by Pulse Oximetry in Darkly Pigmented Skin: A Prospective Study

medRxiv, 2022
BACKGROUND: Retrospective clinical trials of pulse oximeter accuracy report more frequent missed diagnoses of hypoxemia in hospitalized Black patients than White patients, differences that may contribute to racial disparities in health and health care ...

Racial and Ethnic Bias in Pulse Oximetry and Clinical Outcomes.

JAMA Internal Medicine, 2022
Assessment of blood oxygen saturation is an important measure of health on which many diagnostic and treatment decisions are based. Blood oxygen saturation is most commonly assessed via pulse oximetry, with increasing use across the home, clinic, and ...

Pulse oximetry

Current Opinion in Internal Medicine, 2006
Pulse oximetry is now a ubiquitous and essential tool of modern medicine, and while it is a relatively recent invention, the technology has rapidly matured since the first commercially available oximeters were introduced in the 1970s. This review seeks to provide an overview of the basic physical operation of the probe and discuss its limitations ...
